what rock bands are even relevant right now? Do they want to see old farts way past their prime playing outdated shit?

Festivals are getting shittier regardless of rock dying.

British rock is finished, gwime and indeh finished it

>relevant
music as a whole isn't relevant right now.

the line up was pure garbage tho.

king kruel, mac damarco, tame impala, the voids, Alabama shakes, MGMT, arctic monkeys, king gizzard, vampire weekend, father john misty, Ariel Pink, the fat white family, Wolf Alice, Ty Segall, Car Seat Headrest, Show Me The Body, The Growlers, Cage the Elephant, Portugal. The Man, The 1975, Twenty One Pilots
There, i just made a rock line up for 2018

HAAHAHHAA NO WONDER THEY WANT TO SIGN RAPPERS AND DUA LIPA

Reading and all the major "rock" festivals have been shit for a long time now, this isn't news to anyone.

so much fucking soy.
no wonder rock is dead if thats the best its got in 2018, the reason why people are turning to shit like 6ix9ine is at least it still has an aspect of aggression to it

this is the sad truth

"Relevant music" right now is garbage
the underground is where it's at

it seems really weird that music festival organizers who want to make money would book hip hop acts at a time when hip hop is dominating mainstream pop culture

You dont like the music, you like the image.

If you want to jerk off about being masculine because youre an insecure little faggot you should go suck off some men at your local truck stop

this

people are turning to 6ix9ine ironically because he's a memelord. His only legit fans are brainlet hypebeast teenagers who'll drop him as soon as an edgier rapper comes out

>Twenty One Pilots

Big festivals and record labels are taking less chances on rock acts these days, it's all about playing it safe with shitty made-for-tv-commercial bands like Imagine Dragons and 21P

Seems like there's less good rock out but the industry has just decided to turn a blind eye to most of it.

Ty Segall is the only decent rock band in that line-up. You dun goofed user.

there is clearly an audience for rock and the record labels are just ignoring it. People begging for rock music and wanting to buy rock music but the jews in charge are just shoving niggers into everything

Their music is shit for the most part. And nearly all the acts you listed were signed due to image and fashionability, not inherent musical merit

Absolutely agree. The ability for independent bands to market themselves is a lot different now than a few years ago too, lot harder to get your name out there without industry help. Not sure how things can change for the better with the way it's going

it's always been a bit like this bro otherwise you'd have Brian Eno and Yo Yo Ma headlining festivals

you like soundcloud rap, your taste in music is invalid

None and that is precisely the problem. People like rock, but none of it ever goes anywhere and the artists don't get airplay nor do they reach the levels of hip hop "artists" that are constantly being pushed on us by the media.

People are getting tired of this ooga booga gucci gang mumble rap. If anything rap is in its death throes, not rock. Rock has survived the shitstorm by its own merits.

Just think... rock and roll becomes the counter-culture once again. 60s all over again...

this

and people who still pay for music aren't in the millenial demographic - and ask anyone over 30 what they like and 90% will say some form of rock

modern rap is for kids and degenerates

most of these dont even identify as rock. They are psych rock/pop or indie pop/rock

I don't really like it much but I get why teenagers gravitate towards it. There is nothing relatable about fucking Fat White Family. Who the fuck wants to go to a concert and be incoherently lectured about Trump?

Well what is rock? 5 Finger Death Punch? No need to get too purist about it

Rock is really a million subgenres but it's all considered rock ultimately..

you know all the people demanding rock at festivals, all those kids writing about wishing to be born back when rock music was mainstream in youtube comment sections. THATS A MARKET WANTING TO SPEND THIER MONEY HELLLOOO JEWS, HELLLOO FUCKING HELLLOO THERE ARE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WANTING TO LISTEN TO ROCK MUSIC AND NOT SOME RHYMING NIGGER MAN

christ this decade has been abysmal

>00's has-beens, revivalistic acts, and twenty one pilots
judging by your post, contemporary rock music is about as popular as it deserves

I think people are just hungry for regular rock bands, plain old rock, I guess what is technically called hair metal is what people hunger for. Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Poisen, Janes Addiction, Disturbed, Ted Nugent, GNR, Kiss, Alice in chains, and Aerosmith. These are some bands that are commonly referenced when people speak of "Rock", I have to say they're right. There's no bands like them anymore. They had something unique about them that could never be reproduced. They mostly achieved fame when new musical production tools and techniques came out and were able to take advantage of them. Unless somebody is actively trying to form a new way to produce music with a band who's willing to be a guinea pig, then those days will never come back.

Create the culture you wanna see user, support your local scene, hype up local artists who matter. The industry isn't gonna do a 180 anytime soon

goddamn satanist kabbalah worshippers who run the music industry need to be purged

Music has power, more power than we realise. This disgusting shit that blares out of the speakers every time we are out in public is quite literally lowering our ability to think, to be imaginative, to be human

jesus christ rock really is dead

please fuck off back to youtube comments section

Whether you like rap or not, you have to admit that's a GOAT tier bass line.

what the fuck is kendrick lamar bringing to the table?

He's just some generic fucking conscious rapper. and bourgeois liberals act like its hot shit

>this fucking thread
I can smell the tendie crums from all of your fingers, holy shit.

you know its true

wtf i love rap now

>mgmt
>rock

...

There are no rock bands anymore that can compete with the total cultural domination that the likes of Nirvana, Oasis, Radiohead, U2 etc. had going on in the 90s/2000s.

Queens Of The Stone Age and Arctic Monkeys are probably the closest thing available, and neither of those is nowhere nearly as ever-present as bands I mentioned above were in their primes.

The only thing that has changed imo is what the music industry promotes

There's still many great rock bands out there, no doubt on par with the ones you mentioned, who just can't catch a break anymore.

OH MY GOD THE DAILY MAIL

the money that labels invested in those bands... those days are over. Any half decent band can make a hit album with the best producers, songwriters and PR people helping them every step of the way

>The only thing that has changed imo is what the music industry promotes

>rock sales started to decline and hip hop became more popular
>entire generation's zeitgeist is about promoting minorities
>no one wants old white man music anymore (at least not most of the pop conumers)
>the only thing that changed is what they decided to promote

Wow how lucky that the jews happened to start promoting what the consumers want and what sells well, what a lucky coincidence.

>There's still many great rock bands out there, no doubt on par with the ones you mentioned
name one

keep telling yourself that it's all consumer driven user ;)

>no one wants old white man music anymore

Where's all the hip hop?

Black Sabbath, you never said to had to be active.

>why is an entire generation that doesn't buy physical music not buying physical music????
lol

Check out youtube views and soundcloud plays, that's where the real show of demand is.

oh yeah, I'm pretty sure this obscure underrated gem called Black Sabbath would blow up any time given a certain amount of promotion lel

All that stuff is gamed. Bought likes, bought followers, industry always gets the big new trap single on the front page of youtube. Its not a good measure of popularity either

well i guess all music should be fucking gangam style and that one spic song la despicito or whatever

massappeal.com/no-black-artist-topped-the-billboard-top-100-chart-in-2013/

oh look at all those black people just selling and selling

>no those views aren't real, it's le industry/illuminati/whatever
Go outside user, the large majority of today's you don't want progressive rock or some shit.

I know you just want to complain, but check out The Devil and the Almighty Blues, Elbrus, and Child. The Psych/Stoner rock scene is the best it's ever been imo, other than the 70s.

youtube.com/user/StonedMeadowOfDoom93

this channel is also really good for modern rock.

I have no problem finding rock music I like since I know how to search for music, because I'm from Sup Forums and not Sup Forums.

>in 2013
lol

yeah but if they don't complain about why post-hardcore isn't super popular anymore how will they find validation via mainstream media? They might have to develop self esteem on their own user!

As long as there are people like me rock will never die.

>illuminati
Man just google how easy it is to buy views and followers. If you think labels aren't doing this you are deluded

Feigning popularity is one of the most effective methods of promotion these days

You should look into why labels stopped signing bands like that (hint: they were only good for one album then shit the bed and people stopped buying their music). QOTSA and Arctic Monkeys managed to be the exception to the rule

theguardian.com/music/2011/oct/27/when-bands-fall-off-cliffs

>le daily mail is bad
t. Guardian reading cuck

Both are terrible. But guardian is less obsessed with outrage bait and still report some news.

The absolute state of the media in 2018

>labels
I mean it's not like trap and hip hop don't have the largest underground around right now or something. Clearly that's fake too.

>QOTSA and Arctic Monkeys managed to be the exception to the rule

So did Franz Ferdinand, even if they never really made it big in America the way that AM did.

I really cannot fucking stand all these retards who think counter-culture means obsessing over mainstream culture and crying as loudly as possible when it appeals to young people. These white supremacist cucks are like the SJWs from 6 years ago but on crack, evmore pathetic because they're a powerful majority and cry several times as much. This is why counter-culture is dead.

Is this a YouTube comment replying to wrong generation kids?

If this is the best rock has to offer now we should just let it die

The masses never did want progressive rock. But they sure as fuck don't want repetitive atonal trap with drug fucked gang members mumbling all over it either

they did until 5 days ago

Why can't everyone just be good quiet apolitical drones?

Socialism is the true counter culture. We hate both the dems and the republicans and are a vast minority. We also have like no threat to ever actually become mainstream (unfortunately), so we'll probably stay that way until the end of time, because Mao and Lenin ruined leftism for everyone.

Yes, Mr.Sup Forums man who hasn't been outside in 5 days is the true arbiter of what the masses want, especially since he knows that all of the views on youtube and hits on soundcloud are faked. Clever mr.always right man strikes again.

Socialism is a plague, and all of its sycophants should be drawn and quartered

same, but facism.

Fascists aren't even around, I'd get into the "The Left are currently the fascists" argument, which is true to a degree. But it'd be a waste of time.

it would be very easy to fake views by using bots and i have no doubt record companies and lots of people do that

> I'd get into the "The Left are currently the fascists" argument
lol
I'm sure they do, but the idea that that somehow means hip hop isn't popular and not want on a large scale is totally fucking retarded. Go outside user, all any young person listens to is trap and hip hop.

>Fascists aren't even around

A friend told me a music festival dropped Blue Oyster Cult once.
Dropping Buck Dharma of all people.

I'm on Sup Forums, one of our most Marxist boards, of course o won't argue with you freaks, you've already bought into the Bernie Sanders meme wholesale.

well judging by the headline in the op all the young person want to listen to rock but record companies keep over promoting niggers

You don't know what a fascist is, kid. And this board is becoming Sup Forums as fuck, I'm sure you'll have some little retard rush to your defense if you take a swing.

>one of our most Marxist boards
Sup Forums is fucking center right/centrist lmao

Jesus dude if you think Sup Forums is a marxist board I don't know what to tell you, like 25% of threads have jewish conspiracies in them.

>judging by a Daily Mail headline without reading any of the article itself, I can safely deduce that the entire notion that hip hop is popular is a lie
you're a meme dude

Rock has been dead since 2014

This essentially. All newspapers are terrible without any real exceptions and the Daily Mail are among the worst. Anyone who wishes to contradict said point explain why pic related is needed on one of the biggest online newspapers, do we really need to know about some irrelevant person wearing the colour of some felicitous whore? Is that so newsworthy?

This board isn't becoming a Sup Forums colony. I also know what a fascist is, not the current google definition which they literally changed last year to call it a right wing belief.

Yeah but they immediately get attacked by literal commie sympathizers. Also the muscles industry and the arts have always been more of a leftist thin, and Marxism just so happens to become a tenant of most Lefties nowadays.

we arent saying it isnt popular. But clearly there is a force trying to marginalize rock music even though its still quiet popular too and in demand

Millions of young people cry out that they were born in the wrong generation and would like some rock music and they get a bunch of niggers and mumbling retards

>hurr durr its national """socialism""" so guess who REALLY wants to kill the jews?
Wow you got me dude

What? Pls don't spazz out in my thread. Thnks.

>Yeah but they immediately get attacked by literal commie sympathizers
When u think about it, people who don't think the jews run the world are just commies.

>Also the muscles industry and the arts have always been more of a leftist thin
The idea of a music industry is anti-left, don't let neoliberal faggots fool you. As far as I'm concerned the sooner the music industry dies and power to influence culture via music belongs solely to the people rather than a select few in suits, the better.

Oh so you're also the retard that doesn't know how to search for music? Yeah I'm sure you know all about the current state of Sup Forums kiddo, been here a month yet?

Edgy enough for teenage white girls to feel ghetto when listening, yet mainstream enough and with the 'right' (currently politically viable) message at the core.

Same reason white boys are listening to Danny Brown and Vince Staples now.

>Millions of young people are so ridiculously cucked by the media that they can't bother to hit up bandcamp or youtube or go to a local show or find music they like on their own because they're obsessed with their tastes being validated by billionaires.
No symapthy from me, if they don't want to put effort into finding stuff they like, they can cry about how black people music sucks and hitler was right all they want.
